White Bear Lake Auto Accident Lawyer

Posted on by O'Dea Law Firm

You’ve been hurt in a car accident. You’re in immense pain, your expenses are racking up, and if you’re like most people, you’re probably wondering what to do and where to turn. The experts at O’Dea Law Firm are here to help.

Legally speaking, if another driver’s negligence was the direct cause of your accident, then they are responsible for the cost of:

  • your lost wages
  • medical bills
  • accident-related expenses
  • pain and suffering costs
  • auto repair costs
  • the cost of personal effects and items that were damaged in the car
  • and more!

As your personal injury lawyer, we make it our top priority to provide top-tier service for our clients. We don’t just help you win your case: but we work diligently to ensure that your case pursues all the damages that you’re owed by law for your pain and property loss.

Helping You Prove Negligence

One of the major ways we assist our clients is helping to prove the other party’s negligence. Ask yourself, how obvious is it that your injury is someone else’s fault? Usually, the more clear it is that someone else’s negligence led to your injury or accident, the easier it will be to win your case. But car accidents are especially difficult to prove negligence in, and thanks to comparative negligence laws, if a court holds you 10% liable for the accident, then you will only receive 90% of the settlement.

We can help by critically analyzing accident reports, testimony, and other factors, and can even draw in expert testimony and other critical elements to help the court establish when and where negligence has occurred.

Helping You Prove Damages

Before you begin a proceeding, it’s important to remember that there’s no moral or emotional judgement on the other party. It doesn’t matter how angry you might be at them or how many other laws they might have broken: in order to have a case, you must have documented personal injury. And the better the documentation, the better your case.

We will advise you on collecting photos of injuries, and assist you in getting records from medical professionals, police, and other testimony which can help prove the other party’s negligence. And if you’re reading this article wondering what to do if you have been injured, we recommend calling the police. A police report will contain detailed information about the drivers, accident, insurance, and other information which can be invaluable when a case appears before court.

If you’ve been injured in a car accident and need help now, or if you would just like more information about personal injury cases, please don’t hesitate to contact us immediately for a free consultation.

Testimonials

I had a wonderful experience here. Mr O’Dea was extremely effective, helped me understand what was going on thoughout the whole process, and did everything he could to make my case as easy as possible.

Cason L.

I was in a car accident in July 2015, and sustained injuries to my neck and back. I was referred to Rich O’Dea by my chiropractor, and every day since that time, Rich has been available anytime I’ve had a question or concern. Rich has explained the entire process clearly and each process has gone just as he has explained it. It’s also comforting to know that you’re only dealing with him directly, your not pawned off to other people in the office. I would refer Rich O’Dea to my family, friends or stranger’s knowing that they’re in the best hands .

I was in a car accident with neck and back injuries. After the accident, I started to see a chiropractor who referred me to Rich to help with the stressful path of medical bills. Rich was so knowledgeable and helpful, I was able to focus on healing. He was also very accommodating for appointments to meet with him, and he had excellent communication through out the whole process. I highly recommend working with him.

Sarah J.

I was in an auto accident in the fall of 2017. I sustained neck and back injuries, totaled my vehicle, and had many medical bills to worry about. Rich was a tremendous help in exploring my options, thoroughly explaining the process and procedures, and being upfront with what he thought of the overall outcome. A year later–my medical bills are paid and I am in better health. Thankful for Rich’s support, knowledge, and dedication to my case and situation.

I highly recommend Rich to anyone dealing with a personal injury case. I was involved in an auto accident in October of 2018 and was left with neck and back injuries. After multiple phone calls with insurance companies, I decided it was time to see Rich and I am so glad that I did. He was very informative throughout the whole process and was able to give great advice based on his experience. I was able to get all of my medical expenses paid which is all I wanted. He made a very stressful situation stress-free!
